He found himself in a fight for recognition Betrayal is worth the price if you can win The man has cards and he plays them safe and wisely Until the day, sleazy ways Becomes a master and a slave And now he’s lost and dreads the morning after
He got a hundred thousand million reasons To leave it all behind and catch a flight A chance to step away from every chaser He thought he won, the smile put on But deep inside something is gone And now he’s lost and dreads the morning after
So now he’s tied to a new full-time occupation He keeps washing himself every night and day It’s been so long yet he doesn’t feel any cleaner He thinks he won, the smile put on But deep inside something has flown And now he’s lost and dreads And now he’s lost and dreads The morning after
